Melvin Abdul Noble Jr. (May 31, 1992 – November 11, 2020), known professionally as MO3, was an American rapper and singer from Dallas, Texas. He was best known for his 2020 single "Broken Love" (remixed featuring Kevin Gates), which received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His collaborative album with Boosie Badazz, BadAzz Mo3, moderately entered the US Billboard 200. His posthumous album, Shottaz 4Eva (2021) reached number 36 on the chart. He guest appeared on the remix of OG Bobby Billions’ 2021 single "Outside", which peaked at number 92 on the Billboard Hot 100. On November 11, 2020, MO3 was shot and killed in his hometown. In March 2025, fellow hometown rapper Yella Beezy would be indicted for his murder.
